YETI PBR WORLD CHAMPION BULL All bulls that compete on the PBR’s premier series are eligible to win the YETI PBR World Champion Bull title, provided they have not been deemed ineligible by the league. The YETI PBR World Champion Bull will be determined by a bull’s Top eight outs during regular season events on the premier series plus two outs at the PBR World Finals. The bull with the highest average bull score across those 10 outs will be crowned the YETI PBR World Champion Bull and earn the $100,000 bonus. In the event of a tie between two or more bulls after the 10 outs, the bull with the highest average score across two outs at the World Finals is named the YETI PBR World Champion Bull. (If there remains a tie among two or more bulls, the championship bull title will be shared among all bulls tied, and the prize money will be divided evenly among the stock contractors of these bulls.) PBR will maintain the bull standings during the course of each season on the average of the eight highest bull scores awarded to each bull competing. At the conclusion of the regular season, the stock contractors for the top three bulls with the highest regular-season average (average of top eight scores) will receive the following bonuses: 1st: $25,000, 2nd: $10,000, 3rd: $5,000.

2020 YETI PBR WORLD CHAMPION BULL ››› SMOOTH OPERATOR The race for the 2020 YETI PBR World Champion Bull title was as fierce as the cowboys’ battle for the 2020 PBR World Championship, The season’s dramatic bull title was decided by the final outs of the 2020 PBR World Finals. 10-year-old Smooth Operator completed his come-from-behind surge up the standings to be crowned the year’s top bovine and defend his title, and in doing so, became the oldest bull to ever win back-to-back World Championships. From 10-time Stock Contractor of the Year Chad Berger, Smooth Operator concluded the regular-season trailing Chiseled by 0.03 points, holding an astronomical 46.13-point world average. The bovine athlete won a league-best four YETI “Built for the Wild” Bull of the Event honors, recording the top marks in Chicago, Bismarck, North Dakota, Billings, Montana, and Des Moines, Iowa. Within the nail-biter race, he entered World Finals with less than a point separating the Top 5 bovine athletes. At the seventh PBR World Finals of his career, Smooth Operator shined brighter than the lights inside Arlington, ’ AT&T Stadium during his two trips at the 2020 PBR World Finals: Unleash The Beast. In the event’s opening round, Smooth Operator recorded a monstrous 46-point score for his 3.57-second dispatching of Dener Barbosa. Though he was outscored by I’m Busted, who recorded a round-best 46.25-point score, Smooth Operator moved into the lead in the World Championship race over Chiseled, who turned in a 45.75-point effort in his first trip at the season-culminating event. Then came a match-up for the ages between two of the sport’s top athletes. Smooth Operator was drawn by Ryan Dirteater in the final out of the “Cherokee Kid’s” career and the last attempt Smooth Operator had to dethrone Chiseled atop the standings. Bursting from the chute, the white and black bovine dispatched Dirteater in a quick 2.6 seconds for 46.25 points, cementing his second World Championship title. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

“That’s just so amazing,” Berger said, teary eyed from his office in Mandan, North Dakota. “That’s why I get so emotional. Here’s this old bull that, when he was 5 years old, I thought was the rankest bull I’d ever seen. That bull has won two world titles just with heart. It’s all heart. He never got excited, never got nervous, he just came and did his job.” Smooth Operator is the 17th different YETI PBR World Champion Bull in league history, and the sixth animal athlete ever to win the honor in multiple seasons. He joins the elite club, which includes two-time PBR World Champion Bulls Dillinger and Bones, and three-time PBR World Champion Bulls Little Yellow Jacket, Bushwacker and SweetPro’s Bruiser. Smooth Operator also tied with I’m Busted for the 2020 PBR Bull of the World Finals. I’m Busted also posted 46.25 and 46-point scores, compliments of his 6.09-second and 4.95-second buckoffs of Daylon Swearingen in Round 1 and the championship round, respectively. Smooth Operator ended the season with a 15-2 record and a 46.13-point world score, 0.1 points ahead of runner-up Chiseled. Of his 17 outs across all levels of competition, 13 were marked 45 points or more, including six outs marked in excess of 46 points. Smooth Operator now holds a 91.59% career buck-off average across all levels of competition, and has only been conquered nine times in 107 outs. Those who have made the 8 on the bovine athlete include PBR World Champions Cooper Davis, Jose Vitor Leme and , as well as Cody Teel, and Brennon Eldred. Further illustrating his bucking prowess at the sport’s top level, Smooth Operator has only been covered once in 13 outs at the PBR World Finals, ridden by Marchi for 89.5 points during Round 2 in 2016.

YETI BULL OF THE PBR WORLD FINALS In 2017, PBR revived the YETI Bull of the PBR World Finals award, acknowledging the highest- performing bull at the PBR World Finals each year. The YETI Bull of the PBR World Finals receives a $25,000 bonus. The honor is awarded to the bull with the highest average score over two outs at the PBR World Finals, and any bull with two outs at the event is eligible. PBR’s Livestock Director selects the qualifying bulls for the World Finals, as well as the bulls awarded two outs. Unless otherwise disqualified, the Top 7 bulls in the final season standings are guaranteed to be awarded two outs at the World Finals. In 2007, this award was known as the Mikel Moreno Bull of the World Finals named in honor of Mikel Moreno who lost his battle with leukemia in 2006. Mikel’s father, Julio Moreno, is a PBR stock contractor who owns three-time PBR World Champion Bull Bushwacker.

STOCK CONTRACTORS The PBR uses more than 100 different stock contractors across the and with each contractor on average owning 20-200 bulls. The PBR has set high standards for each stock contractor and their bucking bulls, who need to maintain a certain caliber to ensure that they are in top shape to perform. PBR Livestock Director hand picks bulls for each nationally-televised, premier series Unleash The Beast event, the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour, and Touring Pro Division. Each premier series event utilizes eight to 15 contractors depending upon on the location and quality of the stock, with each contractor suppling approximately seven or eight bulls. Bulls arrive at least 24 hours before the event, allowing them to become acclimated while also being given the opportunity to rest, and become nourished and hydrated before the competition. STOCK CONTRACTOR OF THE YEAR The Stock Contractor of the Year is selected by a vote of the Top 40 riders in the current season’s PBR world standings at the conclusion of the 24th regular-season premier series event. The PBR Stock Contractor of the Year receives a year-end $10,000 bonus.

2020 PBR STOCK CONTRACTOR OF THE YEAR ››› CHAD BERGER In 2020, Chad Berger once again made history when he was honored as PBR’s Stock Contractor of the Year for a 10th time – the seventh consecutive season the Mandan, North Dakota-native earned the award which is voted on by the Top 40 riders in the world standings. “I couldn’t do this without my family always being behind me,” Berger said. “Clay Struve, Julie Rosen, Ken Barnhardt, all my partners: without them, and my health, there’d be no possible way you’d be talking about me.” “I’m so thankful that the PBR worked so hard to make this year go, to even have a chance at winning Stock Contractor of the Year,” Berger added. ”When I set my goals and decided PBR is where I wanted to be, my goal was to win the Stock Contractor of the Year. To win it 10 times was never a goal, but it was something that, once you win it, you crave it and you want to win it again. I’ve always stayed focused. I’ve never backed down. I’ve always tried to be competitive, and it paid off.” Berger boasts a deep, talented bull pen, having supplied more than half of the bull power at numerous premier series events throughout the 2020 regular season. In August, Berger also made league history when he became the first stock contractor ever to supply all the bulls for one event when the PBR Unleash The Beast competed in Bismarck, North Dakota. His roster is highlighted by two- time and reigning YETI PBR World Champion Bull Smooth Operator, who was ridden just twice at the sport’s top level last year, I’m Busted, The Right Stuff and Stretch. PBR Livestock Director Cody Lambert has said it is no surprise that Berger has won the year-end honor 10 times. “As great as a lot of stock contractors are, very few are at that level,” Lambert said. “I have never seen anybody have as many really good bulls as Chad. He has a great eye for talent. “Saying Chad is a great stock contractor is a real understatement. It is like saying Tom Brady is a great quarterback. What should be said is that nobody has ever done it the way they do.” Berger’s influence in helping PBR grow goes beyond bringing great bulls to events, according to PBR Co-Founder . “People like Chad have brought all kinds of people to this sport,” Murray said. “The reason he is such an ambassador is because he loves it. He believes in it. It is easy to sell a product when you love and believe in it. That is what us as founders did, and that is what he is still doing.” ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

PBR ANIMAL WELFARE The PBR is fully committed to ensuring the health, safety, welfare and respect of the animal athletes in the sport. The care and treatment of PBR bulls is a top priority for the organization, and PBR operates under a zero tolerance policy for any mistreatment of an animal associated with the league. CARE OF THE ANIMAL ATHLETES • Bulls receive about 10-15 pounds of a special blend of a high-protein grain ration per day. The blend varies depending on the bull’s needs and the stock contractor. • Bulls receive approximately 15 pounds of high-quality hay per day. • Many bulls receive a B-12 complex vitamin shot monthly as well as nutritional supplements. • Bulls receive a health inspection any time they have to cross state lines per federal, state and city regulations. • Bulls are only allowed to travel a maximum of 10 hours per day. After 10 hours, the bulls are rested for 12-14 hours. • Bulls stand in 6-10 inches of sawdust shavings during transport for their comfort. • Each stock contractor has a local veterinarian on call for their bulls. • Many bulls also receive chiropractic care, magnetic pulse therapy, and acupuncture as needed to keep them in top shape and feeling great. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

BUCKING BULLS Q&A Like humans, PBR bucking bulls come in an array of shapes, sizes, and colors, and similarly, their own personalities and talents make them unique. The PBR has a vast number of championship- caliber bulls who compete on the sport’s multi-tiered tour structure. The bulls receive treatment consistent with PBR’s stringent animal welfare policy; among stock contractors who own the bulls, they are considered to be a “member of the family.” Here are some frequently-asked questions about the welfare of PBR bucking bulls and the equipment used in professional . Q: Can any bull compete in a PBR event? A: Not every bull can compete in a PBR event. Saying any bull is suitable for PBR competition is like saying that any human being is fit and talented enough to compete in the Olympics. PBR bulls are the highest-caliber animal athletes in the business. The majority of PBR bulls are bred and born to compete in the PBR arena – products of elite breeding programs that for years have been fine- tuning the important role that genetics play in producing a great . Q: What does the average bull weigh? A: The average PBR bucking bull weighs approximately 1,600-1,700 pounds. PBR bucking bulls very rarely weigh less than 1,200 pounds, and can weigh as much as 2,200 pounds. Q: What does a bull eat? A: Bulls eat high-protein feed, which helps them keep their strength and endurance, and high-quality hay, which helps keep them healthy. Q: Where do bulls live? A: The bulls of the PBR live on large ranches where they get plenty of exercise. There are many ranches from coast-to-coast across , and . Q: What is the average PBR bull worth? A: The monetary value of a bucking bull depends greatly upon his proven performance in the arena; however, most PBR bulls are worth at least $10,000, with a few boasting values of more than $500,000. A bull’s value increases when he becomes a proven sire of other quality bucking bulls. A PBR bull is ranked just like the riders. When a bull consistently receives high marks, his value increases. The higher the ranking in areas such as overall performance, buck-off percentage, and average rider score, the greater the bull’s conceivable worth. Q: What is the lifespan of a bucking bull? A: Bucking bulls often live well into their teens, which would be considered geriatric for any bull. Though a bucking bull may often be in his athletic prime around age five or six, many bulls buck past the age of 10. When retiring from competition, they often become sires in breeding programs. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

Q: What makes a bull buck? A: The success of bucking bull breeding programs around the world has proven that genetics are the main factor in determining a bull’s desire and ability to buck. The is now a recognized breed of cattle, thanks to the PBR and American Bucking Bull Inc. (ABBI). The ABBI has more than 200,000 animals with bucking bull genetics registered in its database. The bulls will kick out their hind legs at the height of their bucking action in an effort to dislodge the flank strap – a soft cotton rope – that encircles their body. The flank strap, loosely positioned around the bull’s flank, in front of their hips, helps create a more uniform, less erratic bucking performance. Care is taken to ensure that the genitals are not involved; the flank strap never comes in contact with the bull’s genitals, and the bulls are not agitated or prodded to buck in any way. Q: What is a bull rope? A: The bull rope is what the bull rider holds on to throughout his out. It is wrapped around the chest of the bull directly behind the animal’s front legs. At the bottom of the rope hangs a metal bell designed to give the rope some weight so that it will fall off the bull as soon as the rider is bucked off or dismounts the animal. The bell has smooth, round edges and does not harm the bull in any way. Q: What is the difference between a conventional and a Brazilian bull rope? A: The most apparent difference is that the ropes are pulled from opposite sides. The conventional rope is pulled from the riding hand side while the Brazilian rope is pulled from the free hand side. There are also subtle differences in the way the ropes are braided. With a conventional bull rope, the loop – the knotted part of the rope used for adjustment – is on the free hand side of the handle while the tail—the portion of rope that is run through the loop and back to the hand – is on the riding hand side of the handle. The Brazilian rope is braided with the loop on the riding hand side and the tail on the free hand side. The style used is the one which the rider feels gives the best grip. Neither style harms or agitates the bull in any way. Q: Do the worn by a rider cut or scratch a bull? A: Bull riders wear spurs that are required to have dull, loosely locked rowels – the wheel-like part of the that comes into contact with the animal. The spurs help a rider maintain his balance by giving him added grip with his feet. The spurs do not cut or scratch a bull’s hide, which is seven times thicker than a human’s skin. Q: How many miles do bulls travel on the PBR circuit? A: The PBR has an extensive network of stock contractors located in all parts of North America, Australia and Brazil, therefore the best bulls in the country are provided for each event regardless of location. The bulls arrive at the arena at least 24 hours prior to an event which helps ensure that they are acclimated, rested, well-fed and hydrated prior to competition. Q: Is there a veterinarian on site at all PBR events? A: There is always a designated veterinarian either on site or on call assigned to the PBR’s premier series and velocity tour events. If there appears to be a sick or injured bull at an event, the veterinarian is notified immediately. Health papers are also required for all animals arriving at an event. They are inspected as they are unloaded prior to competition. PBR stock contractors treat their bulls with respect and the best care available because they are a huge investment, an essential part of their livelihood, and truly gifted animal athletes. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

BULL INJURIES It is extremely rare that a PBR bull is injured as a result of his performance; however, bulls that suffer a career-ending injury are retired to stud and live the balance of their lives as healthy, fully capable breeding bulls. While their injuries may prevent them from competing at the PBR level as an animal athlete, they do not impede their quality of life or ability to function. PBR POLICY FOR INJURED BULLS • At premier series events a vet is on-site or on-call at all times during the performances. • In most cases involving bulls suffering an injury in the arena, they are able to leave on their own. • In the case of a bull not being able to leave under his own power, PBR has the ability to assist and ensure a safe departure of the injured bull. • At all premier series events, a sled is available upon which the bull is secured and taken from the arena, usually by a skid steer. • After an injured bull has exited the arena, he is put on a trailer and taken to the veterinarian’s office or bull housing for further evaluation. • In the case of serious injuries requiring treatment outside the arena, updates to the bull’s condition will be released to the public upon PBR’s approval.

AMERICAN BUCKING BULL INCORPORATED (ABBI) PBR and a visionary group of stock contractors, recognizing the value and importance of preserving bucking bull genetics, acquired a DNA Registry formerly known as RSR (Rodeo Stock Registry) in 2003. This database was the foundation of American Bucking Bull Inc. (ABBI), and has since had its database of registered animal athletes swell 10-fold. ABBI is the largest bucking cattle registry in the world with more than 200,000 animals that are DNA verified in its organization. These animals are recognized as being part of a unique breed called American Bucking Bull; registered bulls can compete at ABBI events for prize money. As breeding these animal athletes has become more of a science, their buck-off rate against the cowboys has risen. The formation of ABBI as a separate entity has added a whole new dimension to the sport of bull riding. ABBI offers valuable incentives to bull breeders, while tracking and preserving the lineage of today’s top competition bulls. The ABBI sanctions and produces marquee events for bucking bull breeders, including the Classic World Finals and Futurity World Finals, which both began in 2004. ABBI paid more than $3 million to bucking bulls in 2020, including more than $1.3 million in Arlington, Texas alone during the season-culminating World Finals. Superstar animals such as three-time PBR World Champion Bulls Bushwacker and SweetPro’s Bruiser began their careers competing at ABBI events. The ABBI Classic World Finals features the top Classic (3- and 4-year-old) bulls competing for an estimated purse of more than $400,000, while the ABBI Futurity World Finals features the top futurity (2-year-old) bulls competing for an estimated purse of $120,000. The ABBI Classic World Finals are held in conjunction with the PBR World Finals.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: What is an ABBI Classic event? A: An ABBI Classic event is an event which is open to ABBI registered 3- and 4-year-old bulls, typically held in conjunction with a PBR-sanctioned event. The bulls are ridden by cowboys and the bulls receive scores by a panel of ABBI judges. These scores are independent of the score the receives, with a score of 100 being perfect. Any bull score in the 90s is considered to be outstanding. Q: What is an ABBI Futurity event? A: An ABBI Futurity event is an event open to ABBI registered 2-year-old bulls. Rather than a rider, each bull has a 25-pound box (dummy) placed on his back which is released via remote control at 4 seconds. ABBI judges award the animal a score based on his performance during the 4 seconds. Q: What is the American Heritage Futurity event? A: The ABBI American Heritage Futurity event, held each spring, is unique in that animals are entered into the system as calves and sustaining payments are made in the years leading up to the event. The payout depends on how many animals are entered each year with the winner typically earning around $100,000; however, it isn’t unusual for close to $500,000 to be paid in prize money. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

Q: How does the ABBI register animals? A: Breeders submit an application with information such as date of birth and potential parentage and a DNA sample (blood or tail hair). Following verification of parentage using the sample, the animal is issued a registration certificate. The registration certificate is entered into the ABBI database with the verified parentage and DNA profile. Q: What is the ABBI Classic World Finals? A: The ABBI Classic World Finals is held in conjunction with the PBR World Finals, featuring the ABBI’s top 3-and 4-year-old bulls, (based upon the regular season standings) competing for an estimated purse of more than $400,000, with the World Champion and Finals event winner each receiving a $75,000 bonus. Q: Can females be registered with the ABBI? A: It is essential that females be registered to ensure the complete genetic record of a bucking bull is preserved. Also, many breeders believe that the dam (mother) is as important as the sire (father), if not more so, in producing a great bucking bull. Q: Who owns the ABBI? A: The PBR owns 50 percent of the ABBI with the remainder owned by a group of breeders and stock contractors who purchased interest in the organization when it was created. Q: What makes an American Bucking Bull buck? A: Bucking is a natural instinct; a bull can’t be made to buck and is in no way agitated or prodded to buck. The success of bucking bull breeding programs around the world, with managed and deliberate mating sessions, has proven that genetics are the most prevalent factor in determining a bull’s desire and ability to buck. Careful selective breeding has encouraged this natural behavior in certain genetic lines. The American Bucking Bull breed as a whole has been improved as breeders select bulls for their athleticism, bucking desire (“heart”) and confirmation. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

ABBI WORLD CHAMPION CLASSIC BULL AND ABBI WORLD FINALS CLASSIC EVENT CHAMPION The ABBI World Champion Classic Bull is crowned at the PBR World Finals and awarded $100,000. This 3- or 4-year-old bull is decided from his Top 6 scores headed into the World Finals, in addition to his two performances at the season-culminating event. In 2018, the ABBI began to crown a World Finals Classic Event Champion. The honor, which also includes a $100,000 bonus, is awarded to the Classic bull with the top score across his two outs at the PBR World Finals.

#1 JOSE VITOR LEME Former semi-professional soccer player Jose Vitor Leme blazed onto the scene in a unique and record-setting fashion during the 2017 PBR World Finals. The then 21-year-old stepped onto U.S. soil for the first time, rode every single bull over five days inside T-Mobile Arena, and became the first rider to win the Rookie of the Year title when the only premier series event he had entered was the World Finals.

He played the sport for 11 years, moving up to the semi-profession level, simultaneously earning numerous titles in karate. • Leme, however, always felt pulled to bull riding, and at the age of 18 got on his first bull. Despite being away from the sport for nearly a decade, Leme says that soccer taught him how to make quick, agile adjustments and continue at a high-speed of movement while changing his direction, all of which are key to being a successful bull rider.

CAREER IN REVIEW: 2017 • In 2017, Leme made his PBR Brazil debut, chalking up an extraordinary 82.61% riding average. After winning three event titles, including the national finals at the famed Barretos rodeo, Leme was named both the PBR Brazil Champion and Rookie of the Year.

Mauney eight months on the premier series to score his first 90-point ride.) • After beginning the 2017 World Finals No. 53 in the world, Leme finished the year No. 7. • Leme then travelled to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada as part of Team Brazil for the inaugural Global Cup, contributing two qualified rides to Team Brazil’s runner-up finish.

He finished No. 2 in the world, leading the league in the regular- season 90-point rides (11), round wins (18) and bulls ridden (47). • Once again selected to the Brazilian contingent for the Global Cup, Leme made history, recording the first 90-point ride in Global Cup history, helping lead his country to becoming the first ever back-to-back Global Cup Champions.

2020 • In 2020, the western sports world ran out of superlatives to describe Leme’s season as he rode his way into the league record books and was crowned the 2020 PBR World Champion. • Leading the world standings for 17 of the 22 weeks of competition, Leme clinched the World Championship during Round 3 of the 2020 PBR World Finals, covering Woopaa for a Lane Frost/Brent Thurman Award- winning 95.75 points.

JOURNEY TO THE PBR: • Growing up on the high desert of rural southern Utah, Whitehorse actually began his career at age 5, mutton busting, working his way up to steers and eventually bulls. His father was a “hobby” bull rider and enjoyed watching the PBR on TV which was how he was exposed to the sport. • Whitehorse also credits Robson Palermo as being a tremendous mentor, helping him with his riding style as well as the general disciplines of the sport. • After competing in the MBR (Miniature Bull Riders) as a youngster, during his high school years, Whitehorse’s family moved to Texas, and he began riding competitively on his high school team. • Proud of his Navajo roots, Whitehorse draws on spiritual traditions before each out, with a methodical preparation including a prayer ritual that blends Navajo tradition and Christianity. Whitehorse also anoints his body with burnt cedar and asks for protection and for communion with the bull he is attempting to ride. Rather than seeking to dominate the bovine, he prays for a partnership. Both athletes depend on a top performance on the dirt.

CAREER IN REVIEW: 2015-2017 • Whitehorse made his PBR debut in 2015, finishing second at the Touring Pro Division (TPD) event in Fredericksburg, Texas. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

• After competing at several more TPD stops and events on the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour (PWVT), Whitehorse debuted on the elite Unleash The Beast in Feb. 2016 at the Iron Cowboy in Arlington, Texas, one of four Major events, where he was fourth. • While he reached the sport’s top level one more time in 2016 (San Jose), a season in which Whitehorse also won two Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour events, and competed at five events in 2017, it wasn’t until 2018 that he became a consistent presence on the elite Unleash The Beast.

2018 • Recording six regular-season Top-10 efforts, led by a then career-best effort in St. Louis where he was third, Whitehorse qualified for his first-ever PBR World Finals in 2018. • Capping his performance in Las Vegas with an 89.5-point trip on Wicked Dreams in Round 5, then the high- marked ride of his career, Whitehorse clinched the Rookie of the Year honor, ending the season No. 19 in the world. • His breakthrough year also included his first selection to Team USA for the PBR Global Cup, competing as the nation’s alternate in Sydney, Australia.

2019 • Unable to continue his momentum into 2019, Whitehorse fell victim to the premier series cutline in March. • Whitehorse battled his way back to the elite tour via success on the PWVT, backed large in part by a win in Casper, Wyoming. • Finding subsequent success on the elite tour, led by a season-best fifth-place result in Sioux Falls, coupled with a strong summer run, Whitehorse made his second consecutive appearance at the World Finals in 2019. While he was shut out, Whitehorse finished the year ranked inside the Top 35, ending the season No. 33. • Despite his challenges, one of Whitehorse’s highlights from 2019 included representing the Navajo Nation on the all-Native American Team USA Wolves at the debut Global Cup on American soil.

2020 • Whitehorse’s 2020 season on the elite tour began from the sidelines. While riding at the early January event in Denver, Colorado, he aggravated a riding hand injury which kept him out of Unleash The Beast competition until late February. • Once he returned to competition, Whitehorse was electric, especially in the second-half of the season, recording a collective six Top-10 finishes en route to his third World Finals qualification. • Inside AT&T Stadium for the first-ever iteration of the season-culminating event in Texas, Whitehorse reached new career heights. In Round 2, he recorded his first 90-point ride on the premier series when he covered Rocky for an impressive 90 points. • Whitehorse then recorded two additional 90-point rides at the event, including his new career-best ride, a 93.75-point trip on Bull of the Year contender Chiseled in the championship round. He finished the 2020 PBR World Finals second ranked No. 7 in the world. • In 2020, Whitehorse also returned to represent Team USA Wolves for the 2020 PBR Global Cup USA ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

#8 COOPER DAVIS A powerful example of the impact words can have, had it not been for a bull riding legend colorfully commenting about his weight, Cooper Davis may have never actualized his potential.

JOURNEY TO THE PBR: • Unlike many other riders, Cooper Davis didn’t grow up in a rodeo family. His fascination with the sport began in watching bull riding on TV. • When he was 11 years old, Davis’ sister dated bull rider Clayton Foltyn, and being around the Texas cowboy made Davis want to ride. He started on junior bulls and would quit football, which he played for two years, to pursue the sport full time. • Foltyn, Davis’ source of inspiration, remains an influential force in his career and the guy he’ll call if he’s ever in a slump. Davis also credits Terry Don West and for inspiring him early in his career, saying he thinks his riding style is similar. CAREER IN REVIEW: 2015 • Davis joined the elite Unleash The Beast in February 2015, culminating his rookie season by winning the 2015 PBR World Finals event title, becoming was just the fourth rookie to accomplish the feat. • After being called “fat” by a blunt-spoken bull riding legend, the Texas native lost more than 25 pounds in the second half of the 2015 season leading into his World Finals win.

Mauney. 2017-2019 • A year-long contender for the title in 2017, Davis, who won two 15/15 Bucking Battles and one event during the regular-season, reached a season-best No. 2 in the world, concluding the year No. 3, 579.17 points behind World Champion Jess Lockwood, after going 2-for-6 at his third World Finals. • Davis capped the season as the Captain of Team USA at the inaugural Global Cup. He logged two qualified rides for his home country which won the historic five-nation, international showdown. • After finishing No. 7 in the world in 2018, Davis was back in the race for the coveted gold buckle in 2019. • A win just before the summer break in Green Bay, Wisconsin foreshadowed a tremendous second half from the World Champion, which included a second Unleash The Beast win in Greensboro. • While he entered the World Finals ranked No. 5, a broken wrist hampered hopes of a second World Finals event win as Davis went 2-for-6. • At the first-ever PBR Global Cup on American soil, Davis, riding for the Red, White and Blue for the third time, went 3-for-4, leading Team USA Eagles to a runner-up finish. In the individual aggregate, Davis finished first. 2020 • As fast as Davis’ 2020 season began, it was put on pause. After bucking off Midnight Rock in 2.79 seconds during the championship round of the season-launch event in New York City, Davis fractured his neck, sideling in him for nearly the entire first half. • Remaining focused on earning his second PBR World Championship, Davis returned in late May in Sheridan, Wyoming, winning the city’s Touring Pro Division event. • When the second-half of the elite Unleash The Beast resumed in Bismarck, North Dakota in August, Davis’ momentum continued. After recording two Top-10 efforts through his first three elite tour events back, the Texan captured his first Unleash The Beast victory of 2020 in Lincoln, Nebraska. • Davis finished short of his second World Championship, but concluded the season on a high note, qualifying for his sixth career PBR World Finals, where he was ninth. Beginning the second-half of the season No. 28 in the world, Davis’s surge allowed him to gain 20 positions, finishing the year No. 8 in the world. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

He won the 15/15 Bucking Battle in Tulsa, Oklahoma with a massive 92-point ride aboard Cochise – his first premier series 90-pointn ride.

Entering the Canadian Finals No. 4 in the nation, 687.57 points removed from the title, Swearingen completed one of the league’s most captivating come-from-behind surges in an event that was decided by the final out. He went a perfect 4-for-4 to win the Canadian Finals, and also the 2019 PBR Canada Championship. • Illustrating his tenacity, during the spring and summer of 2019, Swearingen logged more than 30,000 miles on his truck, crisscrossing North America to enter bull riding events.

First attempting calves, it didn’t take the Texan long until he progressed to steers and eventually bulls. • Competing on several youth circuits, in addition to the former ERA, Taylor honed his skills under the tutelage of his father, Chris, as well as former bull rider turned country music singer, Cody Johnson.

Taylor credits Johnson’s mentorship in helping him win the 2018 International Youth Finals Rodeo. • Taylor says he has modeled his riding style after PBR great, two-time World Champion Justin McBride.

CAREER IN REVIEW: 2017-2018 • Taylor debuted in PBR in August 2017 in West Monroe, Louisiana. • He won his first event less than a year later on the Touring Pro Division in June 2018 in Deadwood, South Dakota. • Three months later, Taylor rode his way to yet another PBR victory, this time on the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour (PWVT) in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

The 16th-place effort, however, was not enough to remain on tour and Taylor returned to the PWVT for nearly a month. • Taylor responded in dominant fashion with three consecutive Top 10 finishes on the expansion tour to garner a spot back on the elite tour for the Last Cowboy Standing Major in Los Angeles. • Taylor’s 12th-place finish inside STAPLES Center at his debut Major was key in solidifying his place on tour. • A month later, Taylor proved he would be a consistent elite tour rider when he delivered a flawless 4-for-4 performance and won the Unleash The Beast event in Sioux Falls, catapulting from No. 40 to No. 8 in the world rankings. • Riding to four additional Top-10 finishes on the premier series throughout 2019, Taylor made his World Finals debut in November where he was 25th. • During the regular-season Taylor made a shift in his diet, modelling the change made by Cooper Davis in 2015 when he slimmed down and went on to win the World Finals event title.

2018 • In 2018, Teel emerged as a World Championship contender. Bettering his runner-up finish from the past year, Teel won the first Major of his career in Nashville, surging from No. 12 to No. 6 in the world. • Prior to his second PBR World Finals, Teel logged one additional Unleash The Beast victory, winning the final regular-season event of the year in Nampa, Idaho and rising to No. 5 in the world. • Teel’s World Finals then unfolded in riveting fashion.

Teel used his second 90-point effort in as many nights to win Round 4 and further intensify the race for the world title. Marked 90.25 points on Medicine Man, Teel earned 300 world points and rose from No. 5 to No. 4 in the world. A Round 5 buck off, however, ended his Cinderella run. Teel finished the event sixth, going 4-for-6, to reach a career-high No. 3 in the world.

2019 • Teel was once again a force in 2019. Earning two regular-season event wins in Tacoma and Billings, the mild- mannered Texan qualified for his third PBR World Finals as the No. 6-ranked rider in the world. • At the World Finals, after covering his first three bulls, leading him to be a top contender for the World Finals event win, Teel tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee. While he pushed through the pain in both Round 4 and Round 5, the injury inevitably sidelined him from the championship round. He concluded the year No. 6 in the world. • The year also included a second selection to the PBR Global Cup, were Teel was chosen to ride for Team USA Eagles in Arlington. He went 2-for-3 in the nation’s runner-up finish.

2020 • Returning to action in time for the start of the 2020 season, Teel wasn’t back to his winning form until May. Logging just two Top-10 finishes in the first four months of the season, he hit his stride at the league’s closed events in Guthrie, Oklahoma, delivering a second and fourth-place effort in consecutive weeks to climb from No. 55 to No. 21 in the world. • Throughout the second-half, Teel, despite a hot start including two consecutive runner-up efforts, was uncharacteristically unsuccessful. • Reaching his fourth PBR World Finals, Teel, however, concluded the season with momentum, riding to an eighth-place finish at the PBR World Finals to conclude the year No. 16 in the world.

Barbosa finished his rookie season No. 8 in the world.

2018-2019 • Continuing his momentum into the New Year, Barbosa began the 2018 campaign in successful fashion. Active prior to the start of the Unleash The Beast tour schedule, he logged an event win in addition to an accompanying Top-5 finish on the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour. • Through the first three months of the season, Barbosa logged four Top-10 finishes, allowing him to briefly hold the world No. 1. However, in mid-March in Duluth, Georgia, his season was put on abrupt hold, breaking his foot and needing a subsequent surgery requiring 12 screws, two plates and two pins. • In his first event back, Barbosa returned in June to represent Team Brazil at the 2018 PBR Global Cup Australia in Sydney, where he went 1-for-2 to help his nation to victory. • Despite the several-month absence from competition, Barbosa earned one additional Top-10 finish, and qualified for his third career PBR World Finals as the world No. 12 rider. Finishing 22nd at the season- culminating event, Barbosa finished his sophomore season No. 15 in the world. • Undergoing shoulder surgery at the end of 2018, Barbosa didn’t return to competition until May 2019. Unable to regain his championship contending form, the Brazilian was cut from the elite Unleash The Beast after going 9-for-21, and finished the year an uncharacteristic No. 70 in the world.

2020 • In 2020, Barbosa was back to his winning ways. He won the Velocity Tour’s event in Jacksonville, Florida, and quickly returned to the Unleash The Beast, making his season debut in mid-January in Manchester, New Hampshire where he was fifth. • A fixture on the premier series for the remainder of the year, Barbosa delivered three additional Top-10 efforts before winning the historic crowd-less Unleash The Beast event in Duluth, Georgia as PBR was the last major sport in competition at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. • After returning to Brazil for several months, Barbosa returned to the United States for PBR competition in time for the Unleash The Beast tour stop in Billings, Montana. His return, however, was short lived. In Round 1 of the event, Barbosa was stepped on by Swagger, breaking his jaw, which needed surgical repair. • Determined to end the season on a high note, Barbosa returned in time to compete at both the Velocity Tour Finals, where he was 8th, and the 2020 PBR World Finals, where he finished 23rd. He concluded the year No. 17 in the world. • The 2020 season also featured Barbosa returning to compete for Team Brazil at the PBR Global Cup. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

Alves would sneak away while his parents were at work, riding his bike to nearby farms to test his skills against their calves. • His sly behavior came to an end when he cut his ear while riding at a friend’s house, forcing him to call his mom to take him to the hospital. Alves didn’t get in much trouble, but his parents asked that he wear a helmet when he rode. • He attended his first rodeo with his father in 2004, where they both competed. Alves was too young to drive, so his dad made arrangements with truckers heading toward rodeo cities.

CAREER IN REVIEW: • Winning a PBR gold buckle is one of the most challenging feats in sports, and Alves has the distinction of being the only rider in history to win consecutive PBR World Championships in 2011 and 2012. Moreover, he is one of only two three-time PBR World Champions, winning a third title in 2014 to match Adriano Moraes (1994, 2001 and 2006). • In addition to being the only back-to-back World Champion, he is one of two riders to be named Rookie of the Year (2010) and World Champion (2011) in consecutive years. • Alves’ record-setting third world title included part of his PBR-record 24 consecutive rides on the elite tour. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

• For all of his accolades, Alves has won more than $6 million in career earnings, ranking him second amongst all-time money earners.

2008-2010 • After making his PBR debut in Brazil in August 2008, finishing sixth at the iconic Barretos rodeo, Alves brought his talents stateside, first competing on American soil on the Touring Pro Division in Missouri in November 2009. • In 2010, Alves made his Unleash The Beast debut with a statement, winning his career first event on the premier series in Nampa, Idaho in April going a perfect 4-for-4. • As the 2010 season unfurled, Alves won a collective three events earning $321,580 and never bucking off more than three bulls in a row en route to the year’s Rookie of the Year title.

2011-2014 • In his sophomore season on the elite tour in 2011, after earning eight Top-5 finishes, including an event victory, Alves took over the world No. 1 ranking following his third-place finish in Thackerville, Oklahoma, in July. He remained the top-ranked rider for the final 10 weeks and finished third at the year’s PBR World Finals, winning his first World Championship. • Not missing a beat, in 2012, Alves became the first back-to-back World Champion. His season included two event victories, and a 15/15 Bucking Battle win, in addition to a sixth-place result at the year’s World Finals. • After narrowly being bested for the World Championship in 2013, finishing No. 2 in the world, Alves became just the second three-time PBR World Champion in league history in 2014. • Outside of the top spot all season long, Alves made a come-from-behind surge to claim his third gold buckle after going 6-for-6 at the 2014 World Finals to also win the event title.

2015-2017 • After breaking his hip in April 2015 in Nampa, Idaho, Alves returned to the elite Unleash The Beast for a full season again in 2016. Despite a mediocre start, he finished strong, going 19-for-33 in the second half of the season, including a 3-for-6 performance at the World Finals. • In 2017, Alves finished just outside the Top 10, ranked No. 11, rising from No. 22 at the start of his eighth World Finals, where he finished second after going 4-for-6, capped by a 90-point ride in the championship round, his high-marked ride of the season. • Initially the alternate for Team Brazil at the inaugural Global Cup in Canada in November 2017, Alves was called to ride, adding a score to his home nation’s total.

2018-2019 • After finishing an uncharacteristic No. 32 in the world in 2018, Alves was once again afflicted by injury in 2019. In September, while riding in Springfield, Missouri, Alves ruptured a kidney, abruptly ending his season. • Despite qualifying for his tenth PBR World Finals, he was unable to compete, finishing the year No. 27 in the world.

2020 • In 2020, Alves earned his first event victory since 2016 when he dominated the Unleash The Beast event in Tulsa, Oklahoma. • Going 3-for-5 at the PBR World Finals to finish 11th, Alves concluded the year No. 20 in the world. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

JOURNEY TO THE PBR: • While Brennon Eldred is the only bull rider in his family, he grew up on the back of a horse. • Growing up in Sulphur, Oklahoma, Eldred was close to his grandfather, who he says always had cows and horses and lived less than 10 miles from the D&H Cattle Company ranch and PBR stock contractors, Dylan and six-time Stock Contractor of the Year H.D. Page. • Getting on his first calf at the age of six, Eldred began getting on H.D.’s 2-year-old stock at 10, advancing to some of his best bovine athletes by 13. • In the early years of his career, Eldred credits Cody Whitman for important guidance, while also looking to Justin McBride and Jim Sharp as role models.

CAREER IN REVIEW: 2013-2016 • When he turned 18, Eldred competed in several Touring Pro Division (TPD) events from 2013-2016, however, his focus prior to the 2017 season was rodeoing and qualifying for the National Finals Rodeo (NFR), which he has done three times.

2017-2018 • In 2017, after winning and finishing sixth at the TPD stop in West Plains, Missouri, in March, Eldred made his premier series debut in Billings, Montana in April where he finished 21st. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

His fifth-place finish at the PBR Major Last Cowboy Standing at Helldorado Days in Las Vegas was of extra significance to the then first-year rider who had grown up watching the PBR World Finals and NFR dreaming of competing one day in the city head-to-head against the most talented riders and rankest bulls. • Eldred competed in Las Vegas one more time in 2017, his first-ever PBR World Finals, finishing 15th to conclude the year No. 27 in the world. • Adding to the list of accomplishments from his first year on the elite tour, Eldred also competed as a member of the event-winning Team USA contingent at the inaugural Global Cup where he went 1-for-3. • In 2018 he finished No. 29 in the world and once again competed for Team USA at the Global Cup in Sydney.

2019-2020 • In 2019, Eldred finished the season ranked No. 26 in the world. Despite qualifying for his third World Finals, he was unable to compete at the season-culminating event, when his season ended in heartbreaking fashion just days prior at the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour Finals when he dislocated his hip. • Although his year ended in disappointing fashion, one of Eldred’s many highlights from the regular-season included his third consecutive selection to Team USA for the PBR Global Cup. Competing for the Eagles, Eldred went 2-for-2 in the nation’s runner-up finish. • Returning to the Unleash The Beast in January 2020, the new season featured Eldred reaching even further career heights. • Recording four Top-10 efforts through the initial months of the season, in September, Eldred won his first Unleash The Beast event, victorious in Des Moines. En route to the victory, the Oklahoman also recorded his first 90-point ride on the premier series, marked a career-best 92.25 points on Crossover in the championship round. • Eldred capped his 2020 season with a 29th-place finish at the World Finals, concluding the year a career- best No. 21 in the world.

#22 FABIANO VIEIRA One of PBR’s most accomplished riders, veteran competitor Fabiano Vieira is also one of the league’s most charistmatic and popular athletes. Known for his contagious smile, and often spotted dancing about the hallways of arenas around the globe, Vieira remains one of the planet’s most talented bull riders, still seeking his first World Championship.

HIGH-MARKED RIDE 91 75. POINTS ON PERFECT POISON DURING ROUND 5 OF THE PBR WORLD FINALS IN LAS VEGAS ON OCTOBER 22, 2011

JOURNEY TO THE PBR: • While it was easy for Fabiano Vieira to begin training for a career as a professional bull rider by riding bulls on a farm where he worked, it was much tougher for him to start competing professionally since Brazilian events are invitation only. That, however, did not stop the determined Vieira. • One day, without an invitation, Vieira attended a rodeo and stayed behind the chutes after he realized a competitor was missing. The absent rider’s name was listed on the draw, and Vieira briefly assumed his identity, a decision that paid dividends. • Under an assumed name, Vieira won the event title. While his cunning decision temporarily irked the event organizer, the young rider’s potential was clear, and he began receiving invitations to more events.

CAREER IN REVIEW: 2006-2013 • Vieira made his PBR debut in March 2006 in his home nation at the Touring Pro Division in Colorado, Parana. He went on to compete exclusively in Brazil, sometimes traveling upwards of 14 hours a week to compete, until 2010 when Vieira moved to the United States with now three-time PBR World Champion Silvano Alves. • In January 2010, Vieira competed at his first elite Unleash The Beast event in Tampa, Florida, where he finished 10th. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

• Vieira competed on the elite tour five additional times in 2010, en route to becoming a staple name on the premier series draws in 2011. Winning two event titles during the regular season, Vieira qualified for his career-first PBR World Finals where he rode to an 8th place finish to end the year No. 5 in the world. • The surging Brazilian continued to climb the ranks in the subsequent seasons, concluding 2012 No. 10 in the world, and 2013 No. 18.

2014-2016 • While Vieira finished an admirable No. 5, No. 4 and No. 9 in the world at season’s end in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively, his performance had been hampered by nagging shoulder injuries. • His persistence however, has led many to recognize a special level of grit in the sport, dubbed “Vieira Tough.” • Among the many highlights through the three-year period, in 2014, Vieira was one of two riders to notch three wins, including victories in New York, Sacramento and Allentown, Pennsylvania. He also led riders with a 54.55 riding percentage, while placing second in qualified rides with 42.

2017-2018 • In 2017, “Vieira Tough” was on display when the Brazilian suffered a broken jaw and dislocated shoulder in the second half. • Finishing the year ranked No. 10 in the world, his season was highlighted by a win at the PBR Major in Nashville, the Music City Knockout, propelling him from No. 17 to No. 7 in the world standings. • Vieira was also one of seven riders selected to compete for Team Brazil for the inaugural Global Cup in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, where his home nation finished second. • Vieira was once again a contender for the season’s World Championship in 2018. After winning the 15/15 Bucking Battle in March in Glendale, Arizona, a perfect 3-for-3 performance a month later in Columbia, Ohio, earned him his lone regular-season victory of the year. Making his eighth appearance at the PBR World Finals, he finished No. 14 in the world.

2019-2020 • While Vieira rode at the season-launch Unleash The Beast Major in New York City in 2019, it wasn’t long until a desperately needed shoulder surgery sent him to the sidelines for the remainder of the first half. • While he returned to the premier series in August in Tulsa, Vieira finished the season well outside the Top 35. • Rebounding from his dismal 2019 season, Vieira was back to his World Championship contending form in 2020. • After logging two Top-10 efforts through the first three months of the season on the premier series, Vieira became the fourth-oldest rider to win an Unleash The Beast event when he dominated the first of three closed-to-the-public tour stops in Guthrie, Oklahoma at the onset of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. • In July, however, Vieira’s season came to an abrupt end when he sustained two severe brain injuries and a skull fracture at the Touring Pro Division in Stamford, Texas. Hospitalized for 56 days, Vieira’s recovery continues, rehabbing with Fit-N-Wise Rehabilitation and Performance Center in Decatur, Texas. ATHLETES - RIDERS & BULLS

CAREER IN REVIEW: 2016 • The self-taught rider made his PBR debut in August 2016 at the famed Barretos rodeo in Brazil where he finished 14th. • With just the one PBR event on his resume, Lima travelled to the United States in February 2016 for the Touring Pro Division (TPD) stop in Fort Worth, Texas.

2017 • In 2017, after a year away from PBR competition, Lima returned to the league’s events, riding at both TPD and Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour (PWVT) events before making his elite Unleash The Beast debut in April in Billings, Montana. • Lima then mounted an aggressive summer campaign at both TPD and PWVT events, recording his first event wins at the TPD level in Rock Springs, Texas, in July, followed by a second title in Sterling, Colorado, in August. • His performance during the premier series’ annual summer break propelled him within the Top 35 of the world standings, and led him to an elite tour return in August at the Major in Nashville, Tennessee.

• At season’s end, prior to the World Finals, Lima competed at the PWVT Finals, where he went a perfect 4-for-4. Lima tied with fellow Brazilian Alex Marcilio for the tour title, however, Marcilio won the tiebreaker via season earnings. Later that week, Lima made his PBR World Finals debut, where he finished 27th, before ending the year No. 30 in the world.

2018 • Lima then broke through in 2018, a top contender for the year’s World Championship. • Winning his first elite tour event in January in Sacramento, Lima rose to the world No. 1 ranking for the first time in his career in February after dominating the Iron Cowboy inside AT&T Stadium, winning his first PBR Major. • As the season progressed, Lima’s successes multiplied. He held the world No.1 ranking through the subsequent six Unleash The Beast events. • Also logging the first 15/15 Bucking Battle victory of his career in 2018, Lima’s season concluded at the World Finals. Riding to a 28th-place finish, he concluded the year a career-high No. 8 in the world. • The season also included his Global Cup debut, riding for event-winning Team Brazil in Sydney, Australia.

2019-2020 • Lima’s momentum, however, did not carry over into 2019; he fell victim to the Unleash The Beast cutline in March and competed in the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour. • Recapturing his winning ways from 2018, Lima caught fire in September. Entering the PWVT event in Portland, Maine in late September ranked No. 103 in the world, Lima catapulted to No. 44 in two weeks’ time courtesy of an event win and runner-up effort on the PBR’s expansion tour. • Returning to the elite Unleash The Beast for the first time in seven months, Lima finished sixth in Greensboro, North Carolina, in mid-October. • While he remained outside the Top 35 at the end of the season, Lima qualified to the 2019 PBR World Finals via the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour as the series’ No. 3-ranked rider. Finishing a career-best 10th at the World Finals after going 4-for-6, Lima concluded the year No. 31 in the world. • The 2020 season was yet another rollercoaster year for Lima. He registered five Top-10 finishes and an event victory on the premier series through the first three months of the season, but returned to Brazil at the onset of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, missing several UTB events. • Returning to the United States in September, Lima finished the year No. 23 in the world.

JOURNEY TO THE PBR: • While his father Vernon was a local bareback rider, Cody Jesus’ interest in the sport of bull riding was sparked by the movie “8 Seconds.” The intrigue he experienced as a child when watching the movie about legendary rider Lane Frost ultimately propelled him to get on his first bull at 14. • Self-taught, the Window Rock, Arizona-native began to learn how to compete in the sport by setting up an old plastic barrel tied to two trees with rope. • In 2013, his practice moved to the barrel’s real-life equivalent when Jesus’ mom purchased his first practice bull. • As one of eight children, and from a family that didn’t have electricity or running water until he was 14, Jesus was committed to self-funding his dream by doing numerous jobs including pinon nut-picking and recycling bottles and cans to earn enough money to enter his initial events.

2019-2020 • The Navajo bull rider was then a consistent presence on the Unleash The Beast throughout 2019, although sidelined periodically due to a nagging groin injury. • While he remains on the hunt for his first event win, Jesus reached an important career milestone when he won his first 15/15 Bucking Battle in February in Oklahoma City. Jesus topped the special round with a 91.5-point score on Cochise, the first 90-point ride of his Unleash The Beast career. • Making his second appearance at the PBR World Finals at season’s end, the soft-spoken 2019 Rookie of the Year contender tallied seven additional Top-10 efforts on the elite Unleash The Beast before competing inside T-Mobile Arena. • While he may have only recorded one score in Vegas, going 1-for-5, Jesus’ Round 2-winning, career-high 92-point ride aboard Lil 2 Train elevated him to a ninth-place finish. • He concluded the year No. 20 in the world. • The 2019 season also included Jesus’s Global Cup debut, chosen to compete for the all Native American Team USA Wolves at the first-ever edition of the event on American soil. Jesus’ 2-for-3 performance helped his team to a third place finish in the event. • In 2020, injury derailed Jesus’ season. After registering two Top-10 finishes on the premier series, Jesus injured his leg while competing for Team USA Wolves at the 2020 PBR Global Cup USA, and was out of competition for the remainder of the year.
